What about Cookies?
Cookies are most often small text files that websites may put on your computer whilst you are browsing. Cookies are used for many different purposes. For example, they can:
• help search engines remember that you want your search results in English;
• help a website remember your preferences so that you don’t need to customise it every time;
• help our website to deliver a better service by showing you the content most relevant to you;
• identify and resolve errors so that the site is improved for everybody;
• analyse how well a website is performing.

The most common function of cookies is to remember bits of information that help make browsing the web easier and more hassle-free for you. This tends to take the form below:

  • Name = The name of the cookie
    • Value = The piece of information that the cookie is created to store
    • Domain = The website where the cookie is used
    • Expires = The date when the cookie will be deleted from your web browserAll modern browsers do have tools to help you delete or block cookies.
